Last night at book club we had our annual goodie and book exchange. I decided not to participate in the goodie exchange this year, since I've already gained 10 pounds since I weaned Teague. So sad! I scored though in the book exchange and got two:Our December read will be:

And for January:

Now that I've given up TV at night, I love having a nightstand full of books for me to escape into!

After 2 weeks of decorating, the house is finally done and we can just relax and enjoy it for the rest of the month!You've already seen these felt ornaments I made, but I also made......some glitter gumdrop balls, a rainbow ribbon garland, and a cherry tree topper to decorate......our Candyland tree. If you've read my other blog, you may notice that the tree looks different. My two little trouble makers, I mean darling youngest sons took it upon themselves to undecorate the tree today. Instead of putting it back how it was with all of the expensive ornaments, I just put on all of my homemade ones that I was going to use to make into a garland. Someday?

*Just wanted to share some other sneak peeks of our holiday cheer!

Our front entrance has our big wreath on the window, Santa & Snowman sign above the mailbox, and I was inspired by my friend, Annick to hang ornaments from the roof.

I bought the supplies to decorate our banister last year, but I ran out of time. We got it up this year and are really happy with how it turned out.
